Enable Ireland has launched a fundraising campaign for the Mill View adult services hub in Midleton.<\/p>\n
The charity, a disability services provider, purchased a property on Cork Road in the town and, following confirmation of planning permission from Cork County Council, work commenced earlier this year to redevelop and modernise the bungalow.<\/p>\n
The new development will include modernisation of the existing building and the addition of purpose built accessible features for individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n
This includes two fully adapted personal care rooms, a sensory room, therapy room, computer room, adapted kitchen and outdoor area.<\/p>\n
Including the purchase costs of the property, the overall project cost is just over \u20ac2m. However, a funding shortfall of \u20ac330,000 remains.<\/p>\n
Enable Ireland is appealing to companies to nominate Enable Ireland as its charity partner or to consider this project for fundraising events or campaigns.<\/p>\n
Enable Ireland CEO John O\u2019Sullivan said that the new hub will be a specialised, community-based day centre for individuals with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities and will focus on promoting independence, community inclusion and personal goal achievement.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis development aligns with the government\u2019s \u2018New Directions\u2019 programme which moves away from traditional centre based care towards personalised, community included supports,”\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
he said.<\/p>\n
County mayor Mary Linehan Foley added: “This new adult services hub represents a transformative step for the people of Midleton, a place where people of all abilities can learn, grow, and feel at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new development shows what we can achieve when organisations from across Cork work together.”<\/p>\n
Once the project is completed, the building in Midleton will have capacity for around twenty adults from the North and East Cork area.<\/p>\n
Individuals attending the hub will benefit from tailored supports such as training, education, social activities and personal development, guided by person centred planning frameworks.<\/p>\n
Enable Ireland currently operates three Cork hubs located in Ballincollig, Ballintemple and Carrigaline. They also provide vital respite services for adults from Ard Na Mara House in Ladysbridge.<\/p>\n
